Japanese Twilight fans

According to this news report, those Twilight vampire movies apparently have a few fanatical female followers in Japan. Here’s a partially-subtitled clip of some really excited girls sharing their opinions on the film:

Not surprisingly, these women watch the movies because of the handsome men who star in them.

Please God, send Blade to kill everyone who starred in Twilight.

He will have to do it quickly while he is still out on bail while appealing his sentence.

Jacob is 17. Imagine the scandal if middle aged men fantasised about a 17 years old women.

See previous post on this very blog:

Laws and customs vary from country to country, state to state. But generally speaking, a middle-aged man fantasising about a teen-aged girl would be seen as a little gross in most places, but at the same time, quite natural. Kind of temptation in the Lolita Complex sense of the word.

Middle-aged woman going after teen-aged boys is also illegal in most places, isn’t it?

So, to sammarize the above news report, many bourgeois mesdames are fascinated with Jacob, right? Scandalous!

It’s too bad they couldn’t have thrown in some female eye candy as well. I swear they must have chosen the not so attractive female lead just to make the guys look that much hotter.

Also when you put not so beautiful female lead then females can relate to her better like “I could be that girl with those hot guys!” Just like any loser lead in harem anime.

That’s a good point.
Also when the most important trait he is looking for is how a girl smells it will probably give plenty of the smellier girls hope.

I heard this shit is total gay like, the vampires does like bright light under the sun. god, I’ll go play castlevania right away.

robert

I meant, goes and not does…

Kevin not kevin

It’s funny that with that horrible sentence the only thing you felt like correcting was the word ‘goes’.

kevin not Kevin not kevin

I concur. KEVIN

Well I didn’t notice if any of the characters where homosexuals so I’m not sure where you got that from. But I could imagine that gay men might find the male leads appealing just like females do.

Why am I not seeing a link to the herbivorous boy trend article?
These are totally grass-eating vampires.

Ajapa

For their preference to blood rather than sweets, maybe. They are fairly classically masculine in this respect.

Twilight sucks, in any language, in any country. “Please bite me” is right.

Worst movie i’ve ever seen, hands down.

And i saw Battlefield Earth.

Twilight, vampires that sparkle in the sunlight.

If it’s any consolation, at least this movie has managed to dethrone Interview with the Vampire as crappiest vampire movie ever.

I’ve never seen/read “Twilight,” but after watching that guy take off his shirt in this clip I think I just might dl the movie… :B

I have hated this series since the first film come out. I also agree with all the people saying WTF with the glittering body. I some times get into arguments with my sister about these films and how much they suck and should die. I really like how G4 re-created a scene from one of the movies. Here is the link if anybody is interested.

I was going to say something here about how I want Olivia Munn to bite me. But actually that chick is pretty crazy and it would probably result in some sort of permanent damage and nothing pleasurable at all.

I do think Japan Probe should post more topics that can be responded to with Olivia Munn videos though.
